La Forge, Union Compagnonnique des Devoirs Unis, 220 rue du Foron, 74800 La Roche-sur-Foron

Description

Without craftspeople and their expertise, there is no construction! The architecture envisioned by architect-artists comes to life—and exists—only through the skilled hands of these magicians of the building trade.
Throughout the weekend, you can admire these age-old techniques and even try some of them out. The *Compagnons des Devoirs Unis* will host live workshops, technical demonstrations, and displays of masterpieces in La Forge and the Maison Guignol, featuring crafts such as woodturning, stone carving, decorative painting, joinery, timber framing, blacksmithing, and many others. Publications and books on the *Compagnonnage* tradition will be available for purchase. Held both indoors and under covered outdoor areas.

Rates

Free of charge.
